Suttons Tankers has won new business with Grace Overseas, transporting chemicals needed for hygiene products, which will contribute to the battle against Covid-19.
The nationwide logistics operator has strategically placed depots and out-bases across the UK and was able to redeploy resources and materials within 48 hours of the request for transportation.
Suttons’ urgency and ability to react to the dramatic increase in demand for hygiene products to support the NHS in combatting Covid-19 has also been recognised through its work with UK Distilleries.
Suttons said the scale of its fleet, network and resource enabled it to scale up at pace and reassure both the collection distillery and the customer, Grace Overseas, that its systems, procedures and equipment are capable of delivering.
